         3 . The self-starting method according to  claim 1 , wherein after the installation of the driver and before driving the mobile terminal using the driver, the method further comprises:
 sending a switch command to the mobile terminal; and   the mobile terminal switching a data path connected to the computer from a first path to a second path in response to the switch command and triggering the computer to re-enumerate a device,   wherein, the first path is a default path and is connected to a driver installation module of the mobile terminal, and the second path is connected to a main module of the mobile terminal.   
     
     
         4 . A self-starting apparatus for a mobile terminal, comprising:
 a driver installation module, configured to, when the mobile terminal is installed in a computer, install the mobile terminal as a virtual CD of the computer and automatically run an automatic installation program in the virtual CD so as to install a driver of the mobile terminal in the computer; and   a driving module, configured to drive the mobile terminal using the driver.   
     
     
         5 . The self-starting apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the apparatus further comprises:
 a switch command sending module, configured to send a switch command to a switching module according to the driver installation result of the driver installation module; and   the switching module, configured to switch a data path connecting the mobile terminal to the computer from a first path to a second path in response to the switch command and trigger the computer to re-enumerate a device,   wherein, the first path is a default path and is connected to an automatic installation program of the mobile terminal, and the second path is connected to a main module of the mobile terminal.   
     
     
         6 . The self-starting apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the driver installation module and the switching module are located in the mobile terminal, and the switch command sending module and the driving module are installed in the computer while installing the driver. 
     
     
         7 . The self-starting apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the switching module is a universal serial bus single-pole double-throw switch. 
     
     
         8 . A mobile terminal comprises a self-starting apparatus, wherein the self-starting apparatus comprises:
 a driver installation module, configured to install the mobile terminal as a virtual CD of a computer when the mobile terminal is installed in the computer, and automatically run an automatic installation program in the virtual CD so as to install a driver of the mobile terminal in the computer; and   a driving module, configured to drive the mobile terminal using the driver.   
     
     
         9 . The mobile terminal according to  claim 8 , wherein the self-starting apparatus further comprises:
 a switch command sending module, configured to send a switch command to a switching module according to the driver installation result of the driver installation module; and   the switching module, configured to switch a data path connecting the mobile terminal to the computer from a first path to a second path in response to the switch command and trigger the computer to re-enumerate a device,   wherein the first path is a default path and is connected to an automatic installation program of the mobile terminal, and the second path is connected to a main module of the mobile terminal.   
     
     
         10 . The mobile terminal according to  claim 9 , wherein the driver installation module and the switching module are located in the mobile terminal, and the switch command sending module and the driving module are installed in the computer while installing the driver.
